Pillar:

Snoop Dogg will be speaking with longtime business partner Ted Chung in the 360 Big Top

With his mind on his money and his money on his mind, Calvin Broadus Jr. – a.k.a. internationally renowned rapper Snoop Dogg – has always been, you could say, entrepreneurially driven. Nowadays, it’s the other kind of green that’s on Snoop’s mind. The chart-topping hip-hop artist, record producer, actor and cannabis enthusiast has been sparking up a conversation about mainstream cannabis culture, education and monetization with digital media platform MERRY JANE, which Snoop co-founded with business partner, manager and fellow C2 speaker Ted Chung. Snoop’s also taken his high profile even higher in recent years, undertaking several significant marijuana industry business initiatives including global cannabis products brand, Leafs By Snoop. Snoop and Ted were recently ranked in the Top 3 of Billboard’s Pot Power List of industry players.

With MERRY JANE, which focuses on cannabis news, politics and culture, Snoop and company earned an Emmy nomination for the hit television show Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party. In 2015, Snoop became a partner in venture capital firm Casa Verde Capital, which backs startups in the ancillary cannabis industry (i.e., doesn’t touch the flower). Casa Verde – which means “green house” – has funded major marijuana joint ventures in the agtech, financial services, health, technology, media and other sectors. He also has stakes in, among many other things, Reddit, high-end natural dog food company DOG for DOG, stock trading app Robinhood, and most recently cannabis software companies Trellis and LeafLink.

“Wherever my musical journey has taken me around the world, it's beautiful to see how chronic leafs are a common source of peace, love and soul that connects us all.”
